WOW-Week 1 of Maternity Leave

I am officially on maternity leave now through the month of May. No baby yet, but I am due April 30th. I am ready, ready, ready!!! Ready to move again, ready to not have heartburn and ready for my right rib and back to stop hurting. And I am especially ready to meet this new miracle!

As promised, I am providing at least one workout per week so clients can keep up with their training. These are meant to be uncomplicated and time efficient. There are a few kb's left to rent so if you need one, please let me know.

So here is week #1.

A. Start with 3-5 minutes of continuous Turkish Get Ups.

B. Circuit Workout (below): Do determined amount of repetitions and move on to next exercise. Rest if needed at end of each set OR don't rest until you are finished with the entire circuit (listen to your body). Do 3-4 circuits.

1. Reverse Lunge (hold kb on same side as leg being moved) 10 reps per leg
2. Clean and Press (clean each time) 5-6 per side
3. Goblet Squat (hold kb at chest level) 10 reps
4. Bent Over Rows 5-6 each side
5. Swings (2 handed or hand-to-hand) 20 reps
Rest

You should be filling your in between (or off) days with interval training. Swings are always a great way to do this. Try 15 minutes-20 minutes of swings alternated with sprints, shuffles or jumping jacks.

Ex.
30 seconds of swings
rest 30 seconds
20 seconds of quick zig-zag sprints (run, turn, run back)
rest 30 seconds
Do 4 rounds of each and take a longer rest. Repeat until time is up.
